Make light, fluffy waffles packed with protein using cottage cheese. This recipe is a simple, quick, and nutritious breakfast alternative.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour for lower carb)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil (plus extra for greasing)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter into a blender. Blend until completely smooth. This step is key for a smooth batter.
  2. Pour the blended mixture into a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are acceptable.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron according to your appliance’s instructions (usually enough to cover the surface without overflowing).
  6. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, typically 4 to 6 minutes.
  7. Remove the waffle carefully and serve immediately with your favorite low sugar toppings.

Notes

  • If your cottage cheese is very wet, you may need to drain some of the liquid before blending to prevent a runny batter.
  • For a lower-carb option, substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or a low-carb baking blend.
  • You can make these ahead; cool completely, then freeze. Reheat in a toaster for a quick high protein breakfast.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
